Trócaire Lenten Campaign 2024
This year Trócaire celebrates 50 years of reaching out to the poor and working for social justice in parts of the world where poverty and injustice exist. Still more than a billion people survive on less than €1 per day.
One day this week skip a meal or give up something and put the money in your Trócaire box. Why not do this through Lent as an act of solidarity with the poor?
Trócaire boxes are available in our churches – please take one.
